Confirmed essentially the same situation and error messages on today's rawhide, kernel 4.4 Upstream discussion resulted in a potential solution: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108791 Replacing the board.bin with the windows bin linked in comment 2 (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=196391) in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/ seems to make the wireless work with kernel 4.2.8 / F23. Unfortunately, we cannot ship the firmware file linked in the upstream bug. We'll have to wait for the upstream linux-firmware files to be updated. CC'ing myself to this bug to track firmware updates. Currently using F23, kernel 4.2.8-30 on Acer Aspire VN7-792G The device appears as an available device, but is unable to find any wireless network to connect to. Previous kernels did not show the device at all. Is there any work on this upstream? I don't see any change in the latest firmware package. Bug persits with Fedora 24 alpha... As a heads up looks like the firmware arrived upstream 26th Feb: https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/commits/master/QCA6174 It has not been merged into the linux-firmware tree quite yet though. Shouldn't be much longer to wait for this to work out the box in Fedora. I believe that update from February is what I am currently using. It "works for me" on my home wireless. Cisco E4200 w/ DD-WRT, WPA2 Personal & AES, set to use 802.11n. I don't have a 802.11ac AP to test with. However the connection speeds reported in Gnome/Network manager show quite low - 1Mbit-6Mbit - while the status page on the DD-WRT status page show connection speeds 50Mbit+. It's an improvement over not having anything at all. David is it possible to include the commits from kvalo's upstream or do you need to wait for his pull request to the kernel linux-firmware tree? (In reply to James Hogarth from comment #9) > David is it possible to include the commits from kvalo's upstream or do you > need to wait for his pull request to the kernel linux-firmware tree? We wait for it to be in the linux-firmware tree. thanks for the info Josh I'll be patient with the RPM and keep copying manually for now ;) For those following this issue as a heads up the pull request has landed in the kernel.org linux-firmware repository. I've updated the linux-firmware package on the f23 - rawhide branches and started builds. linux-firmware-20160505-64.git8afadbe5.fc23 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 23. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-b8f5d5b375 linux-firmware-20160505-64.git8afadbe5.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-3da5490f91 linux-firmware-20160505-64.git8afadbe5.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 testing repository.

In an Acer R5-471T-71W2, this nic does not work: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [168c:003e] (rev 32). I saw a mention that including /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k.conf with "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" might help, but the visibility of the card disappears entirely with that present on boot. When using another usb-nic (and no ath10k.conf), it does show up as listed, with "device not ready" listed, but the entire system seems to lag. Not using ath10k.conf (and thus with the Atheros card showing up) causes the external usb-nic to also crash.
